Equilibre Lyrics in English Eugénie

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Equilibre by Eugénie from French to English.
Step by step, I found balance
Once it's back, I rewind myself
Don't try to make me bland
I'm not just a shy doll
In the humid air of summer days
I was lucid, ready to give it all
Still naive, I felt it pass
Over me, the void, and I dove into it
Step by step, I found balance
Once it's back, I rewind myself
Don't try to make me bland
I'm not just a shy doll
Blooming there, under your lovely eyes
Tightening the rope, hitting knots
Doll that bites, watch the bruises
On springs, ne-never offside
Step by step, I found balance
Once it's back, I rewind myself
Don't try to make me bland
I'm not just a shy doll
Palalalala, lalalala
Not the right prey
Soldier doll
Palalalala, lalalala
Not the right prey
Soldier doll
Hm
Hm
Step by step, I found balance
Once it's back, I rewind myself
Don't try to make me bland
I'm not just a shy doll
Outro
Palalalala, lalalala
Palalalala, lalalala
Step by step, I found balance
I'm not just a shy doll

SONG MEANING

“Équilibre” is a bold, sparkling anthem of self-discovery by French artist Eugénie. Line by line she walks a mental tightrope, celebrating the moment she finally finds her balance—then happily rewinds the tape to show how she got there. The singer rejects anyone who tries to make her “insipide” (bland) and insists she is far more than a “poupée timide” (shy doll). Set against humid summer air and elastic metaphors of ropes, springs, and knots, her words paint a picture of someone who was once naïve, felt the emptiness rush over her, yet chose to dive straight into it in order to rise stronger.

By the time the catchy “palalalala” hook rolls in, Eugénie has transformed into a poupée soldat—a soldier doll—ready to bite back and stay forever in the game. The song’s message is crystal clear: real strength is found step by step, in learning to own your contradictions and refusing to let anyone dull your sparkle. It is a vibrant reminder that balance is not about standing still; it is about continually moving, rewinding, and leaping forward with fearless authenticity.
